June 16, 2024 (Reno, NV) – The Nevada Mining Association (NVMA) proudly announces the recipients of the 2024 Individual Safety Awards, recognizing outstanding commitment to safety in the mining industry. This year’s honorees will be celebrated at the Annual NVMA Convention in South Lake Tahoe in September. This annual event not only celebrates the achievements of these individuals, but also reinforces the importance of safety as a core value in the mining sector. Nevada is considered a world-wide leader in mining regulatory oversight and safety statistics.

The NVMA’s Individual Safety Awards program is a prestigious initiative that acknowledges employees who have demonstrated exceptional dedication to maintaining safety standards within their organizations. The call for nominations invited member companies to spotlight their exemplary personnel who uphold and advance the cause of safety. A total of 230 nominations were submitted and voted on by industry peers across eleven different categories.

“The safety of our workforce is paramount in the mining industry, and these awards provide a unique opportunity to honor those individuals who have shown a commitment to this critical aspect of our operations,” said NVMA President Amanda Hilton. “We are proud to recognize these safety champions and their contributions to fostering a secure working environment.”

In July, the NVMA will also announce recipients of the Mine Operator Safety Awards, highlighting the mining companies that have demonstrated unparalleled dedication to providing safe workplaces for their employees. Those recipients are based on data provided by the U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA).
